Port state counters on Fortiswitches

Hi
Is there any way to find out how long a port has been in its current state on a Fortiswitch? For example, i might want to clean up one of my switches and remove patched cables from ports that are no longer needed. On Cisco switches, you can not only see the ports current up/down state, but how long its been in that state

Its just a really useful feature that lets you judge whether its truly not in use any more, because the port is down, and has been for 6 months, or simply because the PC on the other end happens to be turned off at the time, and it only went into a down state a few hours ago

Thanks
